You know, Mindy…making everyone want to fuck Indian-Velma really doesn’t really help quell the whole “obvious self insert” stuff.

Mindy wishes a guy would look at her like that.
What news?

Every new thing that comes out about this show, it gets worse and worse.
Search me. I was just reacting to @Mr. 0.
Speaking of Lauren, and her husband Craig:
Pete and Craig definitely deserve the honor. As for Evelyn Lambert, this is apparently a posthumous award, since she died over 20 years ago. Might have to give her works a watch sometime.

Mindy is one of the reasons why I hate self-inserts and fan characters: The people who write them are usually narcissistic losers.
I mean, if you’re a man or woman in your 20s or older and you write yourself as the main character in a popular IP, it tells me that,
A. You’re a narcissist
B. You’re a total loser
C. You might have some issues
Or D. All of the above

Ya know HBO spent millions on Velma and I bet the Venture Brothers guys would have done a full length Valerie Solanis and the Groovy Gang spinoff for like 50k.

Well, the Daisy Town film came out in 1971. United Artists actually released it in many places (not sure if the US had it). From what I understand, Rene Goscinny loved Rich Little's performances and thought he'd be perfect doing these characters.
United Artists also released the soundtrack.
EDIT: Of course Disney released this on video and ran it on their channel a decade later...

That's what I been wondering too. I googled Lauren Faust and she is still alive. Nothing in the RIP thread either. I think the above is just fucking with us.

Kinda late but the new puss in boots movie was legitimately the most fun i've had watching any movie in years period, and seeing it come out of dreamworks just shows how disney/pixar has really shit the bed regarding movie quality.

I still need to see it in that case. I actually liked the first Puss movie when it came out so to hear the second one be probably just as, if not, more good than the first has my expectations sit a little above the ground.

I don't love everyone watching this because they hate it so much. Has The Critic taught them nothing?

Just what I was going to say. Also a bit off-topic but (spoiler for the movie, the buttons doesn't fucking work)
There's a scene in which puss panic and start hyperventilating and it is a well-done scene, don't get me wrong but twittering constantly shilling it as "the best depiction of a panic attacks they've ever seen" and "such a normalization of mental health problems" is a bit cringe. There was even a comment saying that it should be shown in medical school.
Can someone more versed than me on the subject tell me if this scene is so special?

*ahem*
These people forget that this was the payoff scene not just of Perrito wanting to be a therapy dog, but of Puss coming to terms with his vulnerability. His first panic attack happened in the bar when he realized the wolf wasn't playing around and had actually struck him with a blade (after his spiel about how blades never touch him). He ran for his fucking life for a good reason, and that was part of his conflict of coming to terms with his mortality. He was scarred literally and figuratively by that encounter, and he didn't have a way to cope with it or find ways to overcome it on his own.
This scene is more palpable for these people going on about its accurate depiction of a panic attack because they may have dogs themselves, and know that feeling of having a furry friend comfort them so unconditionally whenever they're alone. And don't get me wrong, it's a very effective scene and very touching to see it come together, but Puss' journey was leading up to this moment. Now he didn't spend years running from his anxieties like these people on Twitter clearly have, but it's a fresh-enough scar of Puss' that he didn't want to know how to open up to anyone and talk things out. That was part of his pride as a legendary hero in how he walks alone and yadda-yadda.
Someone who animated that definitely has the experience to know how to portray it, and the sound designers knew how to edit it to make it sure that all you could hear was a rapid heartbeat and breathing until Puss was distracted enough with Perrito's presence to calm down and talk. I don't know if it's the most accurate depiction of a panic attack/fear in animation or cinema or whatnot, but it's something that's been standing out to people. I can only hope they're taking this as a way for them to be able to learn how to cope better and get over their anxieties much like how Puss overcame his fear by facing and confronting Death, but this is Twitter we're talking about. They ravish in living in their anxieties like this. And that's fucking disgusting for them to latch onto this movie as a way to feel "seen" or "validated" when it's literally showing its audience how you, too, can overcome your fears and learn to live with it.
Shallow people will always be shallow in personality and thought. They just will never take things to heart.

Watched the new Velma episodes so you don't have to. The black girl that gets with Norville is named Gigi, but knowing this show she might get a nickname later down the line. She looks different because she takes a hint from Velma "de-sexualizing" her friends and starts dressing like Willow Smith.
The two episodes got a total of two ish laughs out of me, one per episode. But I have already forgotten them.
The first one is about self defense, and Velma trying to figure out her feelings for Daphne. They are both wholly unlikable so I didn't care. Their dynamic is very hard to follow, as when one begins to like the other they will do a sudden heel turn and become an asshole. And on and on it goes. The episode steals the Cardigan joke from Clone High wholesale and uses it about 14 more times than was necessary.
(I'd rather be watching Clone High, the soundtrack is so good)
Before the next episode played an advert for the Harley Quinn show came on, better lesbian show, better show overall.
The second one was more unpleasant. Velma is tasked with making the hottest girls ugly so the serial killer won't murder them. She also makes Fred read the Feminine Mystique, which literally fries his brain and makes him like smart girls instead of hot ones. Velma teaches the girls about hairy pits feminism, they decide they don't like it because they'd rather be attractive. Episode tries to say that both vapid sluts and annoying feminists are equally valid, but also ends with Velma getting a nude from Fred, turning his date proposal down, and then keeping the nude for later masturbatory use. I'm starting to root for Fred honestly, if only because of how much the show mistreats him.
If the show is trying to make Velma intentionally unlikable they are really shooting themselves in the foot. There is a line.
